Black fabric discharged

When I did the soy wax resist printing in the autumn, I used some to make an interfacing stencil from the instructions in Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan’s book. For this one, I just dribbed the soy wax on from a tjanting tool. I didn’t get round to doing any printing with dyes from them so I used this one with the discharge paste. I really like the effect. Not sure where this fabric is going next (what’s new?) but it makes some great marks, doesn’t it?

For the next two, I had taken photos, the first of the sun shining on the river and the new bridge in Newport, and I decided to try transferring what was in my mind on to the fabric. I made a rough sketch and then just played about with masking tape and a few stencils and this was the result:

The other photo was of street lamps shining on a night time street, so I did the same sort of thing. This is a detail of it:

Hallo Liz,you encouraged me to start with deconstructed…have the DVD and books and also the basic stuff.But because I am an autodidact and new in printing I need something to give me the last kick.I enjoy felting and silkpainting,but I love to go on with my screen.I like your work.Gabi from Cyprus.

Glad you are enjoying my work – thanks for the encouraging comment! I’d love to see some of yours – do you have a blog?
